The Schneider ATV6000D430A2424ND is a medium voltage drive from the Altivar Process ATV6000 series, built for synchronous, asynchronous, and permanent magnet motors. It runs on a 3-phase supply and delivers 430 kVA apparent power, with motor ratings of 270 kW heavy duty and 340 kW normal duty. The drive is in a floor-standing enclosure with a 10-inch LCD touch screen and integrated EMC filter rated for IEC 61800-3 category C3 on the control side and C4 on the power side.
Line current is 81.0 A heavy duty and 120.0 A normal duty — the HD figure governs continuous motor load, the ND figure covers lighter duty cycles with higher throughput. The 54-pulse diode rectifier bridge keeps total harmonic current distortion below 3 % per IEEE 519-1992, which matters for installations with strict power quality requirements. Output voltage matches the supply voltage, so no step-down transformer is needed on the motor side.
Control and communication
Slot A accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals), or EtherCAT. Slot B takes encoder interfaces (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver, HTL) plus digital/analog I/O or relay extension modules. The control block includes two RJ45 for Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP and one RJ45 for Modbus serial. Digital inputs DI1–DI8 are programmable at 24 V DC; DI7 and DI8 can serve as pulse inputs up to 30 kHz. The 10-inch LCD touch screen supports multi-language HMI.
